Rogue Mermaid

So first they try hack'n the top of the mast of and use'n it. But alas, t'was too thick. So then they try use'n one of the handles off the ship's wheel, but it was too short.

I don't have a computer in my apartment so I have to check the pub at work (DSL yee ha!!!) or at my best friend's apartment across the hall (dial up, but better than nothing!)

I'll start a bedtime story:

Once upon a time there was a scurvy buncha pirates who needed a peg leg for their captain.......

Soylent Green

That movie disturbs me!!!

A lot of the Hammer horror movies I found interesting for some odd reason

Yeah me too. I just loved 2 Legit to Quit

Top Secret, UHF, Robin Hood Men In Tights, PotC, Space Balls, Beetlejuice, The Big Lebowski and the Little Mermaid.

What can I say, I'm a goober for funny movies!

As much as I want to hit the bar Diego, that seemed alittle too easy. Did anyone see what happened to Mary?

William, you have sugar at home.. wowza!

but its a fun place, full of rogues.

Hey Rogue.. twas MY tea!! Dang little pirate, trying ta steal my stash of tea, wot do she think she is.. a..... pirate.. Never mind.

The tea and comfort was fer Pphil, but I will share it. DAng good Chai from Boston Teas..

Oh, that was your tea? You must have um, dropped it..... Well, since you're forgiven' me I should at least share these cookies I brought

Well, if it was really the captian there would be red mustaches drawn on everyone involved...

You forgot the female mermaid and the keg of tea...

I never touched him....

*psst* I want my tea back PPhil

Uh oh. You didn't get mixed up with PARF pirate vendors too?!?!

Rogue pulls a knife out and scratches a cross into the tip of one of her arrows. Then she wraps some rags around the arrow head and sets it ablaze by tipping it in the bonfire. She nocks the arrow and takes aim on one of the vampires. He is submerged up to his head in the salty water. She lets the arrow fly and in a stroke of luck it hits home. Fire surrounds what parts of him aren't soaked. The fire dies as the body sinks below the water. "I'm not sure if that is going to work for long. If you don't burn the whole body they just come right back". She quickly starts working on another arrow. "I'm amazed I hit, I'm usually such a lousy shot".

As long as everyone is having fun I'm happy. I agree Klingons at the Faire is taking it alittle too far, but if someone really wants to be a fairy or a pirate that's more MTV than the history channel than it's ok by me. If someone is excited enough by the faire that they go to the extra trouble to dress up, chances are good that they're ready for a good time. Last time I went to the faire some guy dressed up as King Authur from Monte Python and had his buddy walk behind him as the guy beating coconuts (to make horse clopping noises). I'm still laughing about it!

whoa, okay, did I make it too cheezy? Yea or Nay?

It's great! I love it....

Rogue looks about at her friends. She's slightly green from the awful smell and despritely wishes she had a bottle of Febreeze. "Vampires. Zombies and now Vampires. This is bad." She looks concerned, "Does anyone know how to reverse the vampire's bite? Christine is in serious trouble".

She then runs to the kitchen behind the bar. There is the loud noise of pans clanging and cabinets slaming. "Found them!", she yells.

She walks out with a bow and arrow slung on her back, but that isn't what she appears proud of. Cradled in her arms are several wreaths of garlic. "Whew...It's a good thing someone bought too much of this on pizza night". She drapes one about he neck and then starts passes them around to everyone else.

"The best way to end this mess is to end the curse. Any ideas?"

I'm not doing anything for the blasted holiday. The BF is away on business till the 15th. So I'll just hang out here

cargo hold of...

Ashlee Simpson CD"S!!!

I did forget to describe the gut wrenching noise of the damned and torchered crew, forever forced to spend eternity with such hits as "Pieces of Me", "Shadow", and "La la" stuck in their heads..

Rogue walks to where Tito and Doc are looking at eyeballs in the sand. "Um, I think those are the least of our problems mates". Then she points out to the ghost ship out on the water. It is a sad story to look upon. It must have been a beautiful vessel with proud full sails begging for wind and a crew eager for adventure. This must have been long ago, however. The strong polished wood that it had once boasted had turned a sickly yellowed black full of holes and rot. There was no mast holding the sails, just a pale line of cold light shooting above the deck. The sails were little more than spiderwebs of decripid grey fabric floating in the wind. When the wind turned to the shore everyone caught the horrid smell it of death it emitted and even the most fearless pirate could feel a hopeless cold chill. However, the ship itself was nothing compared to it's morbid cargo.....

Both refused to comment other than to say "Hi Mom!" and "I'll give you a comment, boyo!" Both were strangely clothed, and armed with what appeared to be cutlasses . . .

Ha ha, you got me pegged lass!

That is a very cool story Capt' Straw, I'm very jealous of your surname story

I've actually seen the painting you posted in a gallery, and it is very beautiful.

I'm looking at this one for my living room, but I'm open to suggesstions. I want a horizontally based print featuring mermaids.

Rogue pulls herself off poor Tito and waits a moment for the lagoon to stop spinning. (and wonders how Diego didn't see her! )When things clear she sees Mary on top of the rock, drawing a circle in the water and saying something about the water being dead. She sees two men she doesn't know swimming in the water and hears Diego asking who hit him. Briefly she wonders what Diego is talking about as she stares out at the two beautifully perfect men in the water. Then she notices something funny about the men. She squints to get a better look and then notices, where their eyes should be there is nothing but two burnt out empty sockets.

Oh boy, it's gonna turn into girls gone wild....

*Sigh* That Jim Morrison sure was a purty man...

I'd be the idiot waving behind the reporter....

"Sorry Lass", Rogue mutters as she barrels into Mary. Both young women hit the incoming surf with a violent splash. Unfortunatly the plan had not worked. Mary's hands never lost their vise like grip on the cutlass and her eyes flash with fury. With the new found strength of her possesion, Mary launches Rogue off of her and across the beach straight into Tito.

Seeing that Mary is distracted, Rogue bursts from the woods behind the lagoon at a sprint. She gets about five feet away and takes a flying jump at Mary's back.....

True, true...I have a job where I can draw a line to pyratyness, a very thin dotted line, but a line none the less.
